Lupe Soto, known as "the matriarch of women’s poker" and affectionately called "Miss LIPS" by her peers, hails from Las Vegas. With three decades of experience playing in casinos, Soto was introduced to poker by watching her boyfriend play at their local casino. Her critical observations led her to take a seat at her own table, marking the beginning of her poker journey.
Soto is primarily a cash game player, with her most significant win being around $3,000. Dedicated to advancing the role of women in poker, she also has a keen interest in mixed games. Outside of poker, Soto enjoys traveling, sports, and classic cars.
Soto also runs Poker Gives, a prominent Las Vegas charity organization, and was inducted into the Women In Poker Hall Of Fame in 2018.
